Lambic Style - Gueuze Regular Out of Production|

Blend of 1-, 2- 3- and 4-year old lambic - 4-year old component at least 25% of the belend -, all fermented and lagered in oak barrels and vessels. With Doesjel, the wild fermentation of the young lambic did not continue throughout the bottle conditioning as the yeast "dozed in" ("ingedoesjeld"). This beer has no head, just like lambic so please don't panic.

Bottle, 2013. Light amber colour. No head, as it pours almost flat. The aroma has some pretty big leather, notes of honey. On the palate, it's fairly flat, with a moderate tartness, light leather notes, maybe a bit of brett. Soft body. Interesting. The softness is fun, the leather is good, now it doesn't have a massive amount of complexity relative to some other 3F beers. I'd say funky and unique are the best words.

375 ml bottle, bottled 2012, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks! Dark orange, medium hazy body, with almost no head. Musty aroma of overripe fruits, apples, moderate cheese, basement, yellow grapes, some barnyard funk, some citrus. Lovely taste, quite similar, while even more balanced, with more grapes, some more apple skin. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a flat carbonation. Finishes smooth, elegant, dry, wooden, moderate sweet, slightly sour, fruity, citric, with grapes, some apples. Tasty! So smooth and balanced, with lovely sweet fruits and just enough funk. Flat carbonation, which works great here and makes it even easier to drink. Beautiful, characterful Lambic. Score: 8 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 16

Backlog. Flaska från 2013, gamla etiketten. Tack Emil! Guldfärgad, helt stilla. Ganska mycket av de typiska inslagen från vanliga OG:n med lite mer komplexitet och djup. Åldern gett den en liten skjuts. Smakerna kommer fram på ett lite annat sätt med kolsyran frånvarande. Till en början kan det kännas lite skarpt men snart så är det oerhört gott att dricka. Skulle kunna dricka mängder av detta, fantastiskt gott!

Dull light brown colour, cloudy, with no carbonation. The aroma seems quite fruity, but also some signs of oxidization, cardboard, and light traits of Lambic. Soft mouthfeel, moderate acidity, quite musky, fruity, astringent, with some lemon peel in the final, grapefruit peel, and light vegetable bitterness.
It didn't seem to have aged very well.
